I'm back! Thank you, Nintendogeek01, for reviewing! It may be a little bit before you manage to get this far, but these thanks are for the date of January the 7th.
Also, let me thank everyone else that reviewed! WHEE! I feel very successful, and so I may be able to present everybody with an ASTOUNDINGLY good chapter for once! I'm not tooting my own horn, I refuse to say my chapters are good unless a bunch of other people tell me so. I WILL say, however, that I have a feeling it may be good, or that I am proud of it.
Well, let's see how I feel about this chapter at the end, shall we?
ROLL the chapter, I say!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anna shot towards the Smashers, riding on her water column. The Smashers scattered as she shot in between the group, but she was too quick for them to counter attack.
Pit flew high up in the air, and notched a couple of arrows, which started to glow with a fierce white light.
"HEAVEN'S JUDGMENT!" Pit cried. The arrows shot off his bow with a sonic boom, and tore into the ground around Anna. The ground exploded, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky. When the light faded, Anna was gone.
"That was too easy to believe…" Link said incredulously.
"True!" Ephraim shouted. "Here she comes!" He pointed up in the air, and she could be seen coming down like a meteor, only she was riding atop her iceblock, unharmed!
"What? Where?" Ganon asked stupidly. Unfortunately for him, he was right under Anna. She landed right on top of him, and he disappeared in the ground.
"Guh…" He moaned from under the ice.
"Stupid." Anna spat. The Smashers surrounded her so she couldn't ride off, but she blew her ice block up and hit everybody with sharp ice. Zelda used Nayru's love to repel the projectiles, but Anna blocked by summoning a cloud an freezing it. She sent the ice cloud right at Paul, and he dissipated it with a wind blade. Link and Marth lunged at her, and performed a cross slash maneuver. Anna couldn't dodge it, so she took full damage and got knocked into the air. She stopped falling, and hovered above the fountain.
"I've barely started." She said simply. All of the water in the fountain floated up and covered her in a sphere, and then the ball completely froze over and turned into an ice boulder.
"Blast." Lyn said. Everybody had to jump out of the way again as Anna shot past, and then came right back at them again. Link dived to the side while holding his bow, and then when he landed, he shot a fire arrow right into the center of the ice. It melted through, and hit Anna. Since she was frozen, she couldn't yell. The boulder came right back at Link, and he dived out of the way again.
Ganondorf moaned as he dug himself out of the ground.
"That blasted wretch will regret smushing me." He said to himself. He finally got himself free, just in time to see a solid ball of ice hurtle right at him! Not being that smart, he charged up a warlock punch, and timed it perfectly. The split second before he got run over, he blew the boulder up with his fist. Ice flew everywhere, but Anna was already hovering away.
"Take this." She said. "Flood!" The ground started to shake violently, and then absurd amounts of water seeped out of the whole arena. It quickly rose to above five feet, even with it flowing over the edges of the floating island. All of the Smashers were getting washed over to the edge, where, if the fell, they would meet certain doom.
Thinking quickly, Link shot his clawshot at the fountain, where it latched on. He released the trigger, and it slowly pulled him towards Anna. He latched the clawshot to his belt, and drew his bow again. She fired arrows as fast as he could, but Anna blocked them all with thin ice barriers. She lost her focus, and the waters slowed a lot. Link fired one last arrow, after pulling the bow back as far as it would go. It shot right through the ice shield and sank into her shoulder. She screamed, and the water stopped completely.
Lyn was the first to get to Anna, because she was the fastest, and had the lightest clothing. (Her clothes didn't absorb as much water.)
Anna yelled as she got slashed, and the she hovered away from Lyn.
"Soul freeze." Anna said in a demonic voice. The whole arena grew cold, and the now wet ground turned completely into a glacier. Everybody's clothes froze as well, completely immobilizing Link, Zelda, Ganon, Ephraim, Marth, and Paul.
Pit and Lyn were still mobile, But both were slowed greatly, and Pit's wings were frozen solid. Pit fired arrows, but the cold made his arms numb and clumsy, so every shot missed. Lyn couldn't catch Anna as she flew around, and the occasional arrow hit her.
"Sorry!" Pit yelled for the fourth time.
Suddenly, the ice on Paul exploded and left him all sooty, but thankfully, dry.
"I'm back!" He declared.
"Shut up and get busy!" Lyn yelled desperately as she missed Anna again and dodged one of Pit's stray arrows.
"Right!" Paul said.
"I thought I had you vermin!" Anna wailed.
"I recently learned a useful, if not painful, technique. You lose." Paul said
"Try me!" She cried. She waved her hands around and formed strange runes in the air, and some of the ice around her formed into sharp ice spears. She launched three at each of the mobile smashers, but they avoided them by ducking.
"Darn, I knew I should have perfected that attack." Anna said to herself. "Oh well, I'm finished playing with you mice." She said in a haunting voice. "Feel my true power! Come to me, my legendary weapon! Arcane Ice Spear!"
"Uh oh, this is bad." Pit said quietly.
"I didn't need you to tell me that." Paul said. "If she's got a legendary weapon already, we're fighting somebody way beyond our level of skill!"
"We need to free the others!" Lyn shouted.
"I'm on it!" Paul replied. He focused for a moment, and began to glow with a red aura.
"Heat wave!" He yelled. A hot ring of fire blasted across the ground from where he stood, and completely vaporized the ice on the arena. It also de thawed and dried the other smashers.
"Beloved warmth!" Ephraim said, kissing the ground.
"I don't care what you plan on doing." Ganon declared. "You don't stand a chance against all of us!"
"I wish that were true…" Marth muttered under his breath.
"She's summoning her legendary weapon!" Pit shouted.
"WHAT!?!" Link yelled in shock.
"Yeah! I know! That's bad!" Paul said.
"Too bad I'm going to take each of you out with a single stroke. I would love for you to feel your flesh get the water sucked out of you, but you would only perish if I were to even touch you." Anna said.
"Think again, hag." Paul said bravely. "Iridescence! Galaxia form!" He yelled, holding his sword up in the air. His sword melted into a blob of white hot metal, and reformed. It now looked exactly like meta knight's sword, only longer and bigger than the original Galaxia."
"It would seem that you too possess your legendary weapon, but have you unlocked it's true power?" Anna asked, slightly impressed.
"No, but the burning heat of the sun and speed of light should be more than enough to put you in place." Paul said.
"Still, Galaxia is a legendary weapon itself. Is the form you're using as powerful as the original weapon?"
"I doubt it."
"Too bad. Now, die."
The whole arena was shaken by a wave of absolute zero air, and then a blue flash made the sky seem white. When everybody's vision returned, Anna was holding a lethal looking spear made of the purest ice. It was about seven feet in length, with a big spearhead on the end. The head was an additional foot long, with five barbs sticking off of it. Tied onto the shaft right below the head was a long blue ribbon which fluttered in the breeze like Anna's robes.
"That's the Arcane Ice spear?" Link asked with a confused look.
"I've seen scarier looking weapons." Marth replied.
"Besides, Paul's not the only one with a big weapon." Link said. "I have the Master Sword."
"I have myself!" Ganon said proudly.
"That doesn't count." Marth said exasperatedly.
"Aww." Ganon whined.
"Enough of this idle gibberish. Let us get on with this slaughter."
"You mean butt kicking episode." Paul said, disappearing.
Anna instantly jumped into action, blocking Paul's mach 4 speed slashes with her spear, and blocking the occasional slash that got past her defenses with a spontaneous ice shield.
"IalsogainMetaKnight'ssuperfastslahingabilitywheniuseGalaxia!" Paul said super fast.
"WHAT!?! I can't understand you!" Anna yelled angrily.
Paul ran backwards, and launched a hurricane of wind slashes. Anna got caught off guard, and was slashed badly all over by the wind blades.
"Hurryupanddistracther!I'llchargeupafinishingblow!" Paul yelled.
"Uh, whatever you said." Marth said. "I get the picture." He jumped into the fray, and hacked at the wounded Anna. Link, Ephraim, and Lyn joined in on the frontline attacking, while Pit, Zelda, and Ganon supported from the rear.
Anna jumped back, and swung her lance upwards. A blast of water erupted from the ground, and threw Lyn into the air. Link and Marth jumped on Anna, and did a double jump attack, which Anna blocked and parried. Link dived to one side, and Marth to the other. They slashed in an unpredictable manner, and Anna blocked the attacks with both ends of her spear by spinning it and slashing.
"This looks a lot like star wars…" Zelda said while she launched fire balls.
"What's star wars?" Pit asked blankly.
"Uh…We can show you once we get back to the Smash Mansion." Ganon said uncertainly.
Anna ducked under the incoming fireball, and then jumped over the ground slashes from Link and Marth, and then knocked Ephraim's thrust attack aside. She was about to impale him, when Lyn came shooting down from the sky, and performed a jump attack as she came down.
"HADES PASSION!" Paul yelled. He focused his red energy aura from his sword into his left hand, and compressed it into a marble sized sphere of fire. He threw it into the fray, and the Smashers took one wide eyed look at it and ran like the dickens.
"………….Is this all you got?" Anna asked with a raised eyebrow.
The sphere shrank to a speck of light, and then……..
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The explosion was so loud and so powerful, it ripped the fountain to shreds and blew half of the floating island into oblivion. Anna, fortunately, was right in the middle of it.
She could be seen flying off into the distance. It was easy to see where she went, because she left a very dense trail of smoke behind.
"That was very…" Link seemed to be at a loss for words.
"Interesting?" Paul replied.
"I guess…"
"Don't ask me to do it again. That charge time was FAST in comparison to the 'normal' time it would take. That was an advanced version of my self destruct. Normal times would be, say…an hour, when that took me about three minutes."
"Ouch." Ephraim said.
"And it's all thanks to you I invented the attack." Paul said happily.
"Really?" Ephraim asked, surprised.
"Yes, if you hadn't poked me, I wouldn't have gone boom." Paul said simply.
"Ok, I know I'm the 'dumb' person here, but we need to get the DANG TRIFORCE BACK!" Ganon bellowed.
"Ganondork has a point." Link said. "Let's go!" He ran off to the temple in the distance, with the others close behind.
"Ganon…dork?" Ganon said to himself. "…WAIT A CURSED MINTUTE! GET BACK HERE, YOU DEMON SPAWN!" Ganon roared angrily.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bwa ha ha! I did say I liked putting out the elementals with a bang!
And the bangs get bigger every time!
